Indeed! I have yet to own a Scottish coin, despite being of Scottish descent on my mother's side. Great historical coin!
That's a great type! Here's the only Germanicus I've had, back in my original 2007-08 "A to Z" collection (Augustus to Zeno), which was my first...
Ditto.
Yep. A dug dime. The silver ones come out of the ground nice and bright, under most soil conditions, but the copper-nickel clads like this turn...
Already had this on my clipboard from posting in other threads, so might as well post it here as well. :) [IMG]
I'd love to have a gold cob someday. Panzerman's gold 8-escudo is of course amazing, as usual. I think pretty much anything Spanish from the...
I dunno if the Nevada state quarter design is my favorite modern coin, but it's certainly my favorite out of the 50 Statehood quarter designs,...
German States (Hesse-Darmstadt): silver kreuzer, 1866 [IMG] [IMG] Tiny, but an amazingly prooflike little supergem. Pop 2/0, so tied for finest...
Belgium (Austrian Netherlands): copper 2 liards (2 Oorden), Insurrection coinage, 1790 [IMG] (NGC MS63 BN; pop. 3/4)
What comes around goes around, brother. So once again, I owe you one. ;)
TrueViews are in! Wheee! :D Here is the Carolus d'or. I'm wondering if maybe there wasn't an old mount removed, which might've been what caused...
It looks like 2551 in the Thai calendar, so 2008, I believe. Thai coins are not my strong suit by any stretch of the imagination, but I think it...
Nope. Copper-nickel. Not silver. Do this long enough, and you'll get so you can spot silver straight off, just by the color alone. And, on the...
Dude! You got silvered! That's a Thai coin in the middle of the second set of pix, BTW.
What @stldanceartist said. I commonly encounter these in bulk lots. While there's nothing wrong with collecting US coins (and it's...
Could be. I dunno how you'd replicate that, though.
It's a badly corroded Liberty nickel. Looks to have had decent detail before the corrosion got it, but as-is, I'd say it's worth a quarter or...
I don't see any doubling there, but it's a decent looking steel cent. You say "found", as in, coin roll hunting? If you found that in...
That's interesting, actually. Are we seeing the underlying zinc core, there? Is this a plating issue? Or heat damage of some kind? I don't...
Yep. PMD, I'm afraid.
Separate names with a comma.
